Ionizing RadiationA SMARTER PLAN ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF by Dr. Jack Tips (N.D., Ph.D., C.Hom, C.C.N.)
W ith the recent meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors in Japan (March, 2011), Americans
bought out the entire supply of potassium iodine and potassium iodide available on the market in less
than two days. However this is a knee-jerk fear reaction, and there’s actually a smarter way to address the
fact that nuclear radiation will inevitably find its way into your body.
Fukushima, Japan reactor explosion
Why Are People Taking Iodine?
Potassium Iodide (KI for kali iodatum) is a first aid
recommendation for nuclear reactor outgassing because it
prevents radioactive
iodine from entering
the thyroid gland
where it causes cell
death and cancer.
The thyroid gland is
a sponge for iodine
and cannot tell the
difference between
stabile iodine and radioactive Iodine-131. Since radioactive
Iodine-131 is a significant contaminant when nuclear reactors
have mishaps, the thyroid suffers the most damage.
When a person takes KI, a stabile form of inorganic iodine,
it fills up the thyroid receptors and then the thyroid cannot
absorb the radioactive Iodine-131 emitted from the reactor
meltdown for up to 24 hours. But where’s the radioactive
iodine 24 hours later? Yes, it’s still there, waiting. So for KI to
work, it needs to saturate the thyroid daily, and this can be
dangerous as I’ll explain.
The current radiation scare brings us right back to the theme
of this series of Research Reports – We Live & Die At The
Cellular Level – and it provides a platform for our further
discussion on the truth that when we nourish our cells, our
bodies can be resilient and healthy, even in a polluted world.
Potassium Iodine / Potassium Iodide – Not The Answer
There are a number of reasons to not take KI, and certainly
not on an on-going basis. If too much is taken or it’s taken for
too long, many varied symptoms develop. Such symptoms
are listed in the
Homeopathic Materia
Medica and include:
allergies, salivary
gland inflammation,
thyroid pathologies,
rhinitis, canker sores,
recurring pneumonia,
bone tumors, Hashimoto’s, and chronic urethritis. KI can
result in making the thyroid either hypo or hyper depending
on the individual’s genetics.
Protecting the thyroid is important as it’s the most vulnerable
tissue to I-131 radiation damage, and KI does offer temporary
protection, but KI does not protect other vital organs such
as the liver, heart, and lungs. Further, KI does not protect the
body from other radioactive particles such as Cesium-137
which affects the potassium rich muscles and every cell via
the cell membrane’s sodium-potassium pump. Nor does it

protect the body from uranium isotopes. So KI is really limited
in its scope. KI is a band aid, it’s not a very good one at that.
Balance in All Things
To understand the danger of taking too much iodine or
iodide, let’s discuss how the thyroid makes thyroxines—its
iodine-based hormones that helps run the body’s metabolic
rate, protein synthesis, and growth hormones.
When thyroxine decreases in the body, the hypothalamus
senses this and tells the pituitary to release a hormone called
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) that tells the thyroid
gland to make some more thyroxine. This is how the endocrine
system maintains checks and balances for optimal health.
The thyroid gland only uses the molecule known as iodide to
make its various thyroxine molecules. The thyroid cells absorb
iodide and within its cells, it converts iodide to iodine, and then
it makes thyroxine from iodine and tyrosine. This conversion
of iodide to iodine utilizes an oxidative process based on
hydrogen peroxide.
Oxidative processes require
controls called antioxidants.
Too much oxidation results
in free radical damage. Free
radicals damage DNA and
cause apoptosis, or self-willed
cell death. Further, damaged
cells alert the immune system to come help clean up the
debris and ensure that those damaged cells do not turn into
rogue cells (tumors).
When TSH is elevated, it means that the thyroid must
make more hydrogen peroxide. Thus TSH increases free
radical concerns within the thyroid. This long term oxidative
process causes some thyroid cells to burn up or in nuclear-
speak, to “melt down,” and this process is synonymous with
inflammation. When the damaged cells break open, they
release their hydrogen peroxide and this inflames the thyroid
tissue. When the immune system arrives on the inflammatory
scene, it attacks the thyroid because of the damaged, rogue
cells. This is the basis for the thyroid autoimmune disease,
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
Here again, we see that chronic inflammation results in
chronic-degenerative and autoimmune diseases. [In this series
of Research Reports, the first two dealt with inflammation
and free radicals, so you can now see how far-reaching this
subject is and how we must become masters of cellular health
if we’re to have optimal health].
A lack of iodine/iodide is a deficiency that causes low thyroid
output of thyroxine. An overabundance of iodine/iodide
is an excessive condition that can trigger elevated TSH and
cause increased oxidative damage to thyroid cells resulting in
excessive immune activity. So it’s the old story of “Goldilocks
And The Three Bears,” not enough iodine is too cold, too
much iodine is too hot. The body needs just the right amount.
People taking KI for an extended period of time gain a little
thyroid protection but run the risk of pushing the thyroid
toward inflammation and the immune system’s resulting
involvement. That, coupled with the fact that KI does not
protect the body from other ionizing radiations (uranium,
plutonium, cesium, sulfur, cobalt, etc.) and it does not protect
other organs, means that KI is slightly useful, but a feeble
solution at best.

How Radioactivity Kills
What happens when a radioactive molecule impacts a cell? It
ionizes the DNA and kills the cell or creates an aberrant cell
(tumor) This is the positive-ion, free-radical story. The cells
that are the most vulnerable to ionizing radiation are those that
rapidly divide, and those that are in the process of reproducing.

Systemic Formulas: Solutions Here & Now Research Repor t #5
This is the basis for medical radiation therapy. The ionizing
radiation damages the tumor’s DNA causing it to die before
the radiation destroys the healthy cells. The result is a partially
damaged body instead of a dead body.
Radiation Protection – Not Just For Disasters
The USA has tested nuclear bombs and created nuclear fall
out in the following states: New Mexico, Nevada, Mississippi,
Colorado, and on Pacific and Atlantic Islands. Radiation
exposure is nothing new to the USA peoples. Other countries
have tested nuclear bombs all over the world as well.
Radioactive ammunition is fired frequently in Southern
California (Camp Pendleton) causing radioactive drift around
San Diego. So the current concerns about nuclear radiation
only serve to punctuate the fact that planet Earth has been
enshrouded in nuclear radiation since the first bomb test in
New Mexico in 1945. And then there was Three Mile Island,
Chernobyl, and minor incidents in many locations.
So a temporary and risky plan such as the
one provided by KI is not the solution. In
1986 Doc Wheelwright taught the soak
baths that Dr. Hazel Parcells developed. A
person can get rid of uranium isotopes with
a simple soak bath of Epsom Salts, or by
adding two pounds of baking soda and two
pounds of sea salt to a bathtub of water. Both magnesium salts
and baking soda have a well-establish history of helping with
topical radiation exposures. Baking soda used internally has
an additional history of alkalizing the kidneys and promoting
excretion of radioactive particles from the body. The baths
are for exposures that are on the skin, as well as in the hair
and pores of the skin,
not for deep tissue
exposures.
The real concern
regarding the recent
radioactivity is that it
lands on farm pastures
around the world. The goats and cows will eat the radioactive
particles on the grass and pass the radiation to people via milk
and cheese and glow-in-the-dark burgers.
So now, dear friends, what is the best thing you can do for
radiation? Let’s check some research and see if we can find
something that can be used every day. Let’s see if we can find
something that not only addresses radiation protection and
detox, but also helps detoxify environmental chemicals such
as pesticides and PCB’s. What if that same substance happened
to provide the body wonderful nascent amino acids as well as
nascent vitamin B-12 and trace minerals? As long as we’re
playing the guessing game, what if this same substance slowed
the cellular aging processes by providing rich RNA and DNA
nucleic factors? And, what if that same substance boosted the
immune system via the macrophage activity? Something this
good, surely it’s medically documented to help prevent and
overcome radiation exposure, right? Right!
Chlorella
Shortly after World War
II, the Japanese discovered
an amazing characteristic of
the single cell algae, chlorella.
After the Nagasaki and
Hiroshima atomic bombings in 1945, food and crops were
obliterated. There was a dire food shortage. The USA helped
Japan rebuild and used chlorella as a rapidly produced source
of protein and vitamins. Prior to this the Germans had used
another species of algae, spirulina, in similar fashion after
World War I.
Soon a remarkable thing occurred. The chlorella provided
dramatic benefits for those who ate it. They recovered from
the radiation sickness whereas the people who did not eat
chlorella died. This caused the Japanese government to launch
extensive studies on the benefits of chlorella. They soon found
that chlorella has the unique ability to absorb nuclear radiation
as well as mercury and other chemical toxins and remove
them from the body. This is why, today, we use chlorella in
Dr. Hazel Parcells age 106

the Systemic Formulas Detoxification Program (see Research
Report #4: A New Model for Detoxification).
Resulting from this initial research, Japan built a multi-billion
dollar industry on farming chlorella as a super health food,
vegetable source of protein, and nutritional supplement that
provides nascent B vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.
In addition to being the premier solution for nuclear radiation
exposure, Chlorella has many benefits such as:
• Supports digestive processes
• Increases colonies of beneficial probiotics
•Protects cells from free radical damage with antioxidants
• Supports repair of RNA and DNA
•Detoxifies heavy metals and PCBs, better than the chelating
agent DMPS (Dimaval; 2,3-dimercapto-1-propane sulfonate, Na+)
•Provides super nutrition via chlorophyll
• Supports immune system effectiveness, induces interferon
•Provides a wealth of nascent nutrients
•Provides a vegetarian source of Vitamin B-12
•Helps alkalize and balance the pH
• Supports weight loss and maintenance of proper weight
•Detoxes nuclear radiation
• Supports glutathione (chief detoxifier, anti-oxidant)
•Contains “chlorella growth factor” (CGF) that stimulates
rejuvenation and cellular healing
•Provides abundant beta carotene, a cell protective
precursor of Vitamin A.
•Normalizes blood sugar and blood pressure
•Protects the body from ultraviolet radiation
•Helps detoxify the liver and blood
Back in 1945 after the atomic bombing of
Japan, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D. was Director
of the Department of Internal Medicine at
St. Francis’s Hospital in Nagasaki, right in the
middle of the high radiation zone. This astute
doctor insisted that his staff and patients eat
only brown rice, chlorella, miso soup with seaweeds such
as kombu, mozuku, wakame, and other seaweeds. He also
prohibited eating sweets and sugar knowing that they stress
the immune system.
His patients and staff did not die from radiation poisoning
whereas people located many miles away from the explosion
suffered severe radiation poisoning and death. Dr. Akizuki
knew that the sea vegetables contain substances such as
sodium alginate, that bind radioactive particles and help
remove them from the body. This is the basis why seaweed
and chlorella are used to treat radiation victims.
Seaweeds provide sodium alginate and iodine from nature as
opposed to a chemical KI, and the chlorella is the earth’s best
anti-radiation food, even better than spirulina.
Chlorella has a unique cell membrane. It’s thick and designed by
Nature to repel toxins and heavy metals. This is why chlorella
has been able to survive for the past two million years.
When chlorella is used dietarily, it is best processed to crack
the cell to gain access to the rich chlorophyll and nutrients
inside the cell, but most of all, it’s the tough cell membrane
that imparts chlorella’s anti-nuclear radiation properties.
Special technologies are used to crack the cells open so their
precious nutrition is readily available for human consumption.

Tocotrienols Provide Inner Cell Protection From Ionizing Radiations
Natural Vitamin E from plants is a fat-soluble, anti-oxidant
composed of four methylated phenols called “tocopherols”
(designated alpha, beta, gamma, delta tocopherols) and four
double bonded trienes called “tocotrienols” (designated
alpha, beta, gamma, delta
tocotrienols). So there are eight
fractions comprising the whole
Vitamin E complex.
Most research has been focused
on the alpha tocopherol fraction,
but recently, research is revealing
the value of the whole Vitamin E
complex. Now medical researchers
(see references) are finding that tocotrienols help the body:
•Lower Cholesterol by reducing the liver’s cholesterol
production
•Protect against brain damage particularly after a stroke
• Survive pancreatic cancer
• Inhibit breast cancer by better inducing apoptosis in both
estrogen-responsive and unresponsive breast cancer
cells.
• Suppress prostate cancer cell proliferation through the
cell signaling mechanism
•Reduce incidents of skin cancer and improves
chemotherapy outcomes for malignant melanomas
•Reduce the risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes
•Reduce the risk of Alzheimers
•Protect the cells against radiation exposure.
It is interesting to note those powerful and important
benefits of Vitamin E’s tocotrienol fractions, especially after
the 1994 deliberate smear campaign launched by individuals
and business entities opposed to natural health based on a
seriously flawed study in Finland that used synthetic beta
carotene and a synthetic fraction of Vitamin E (dl-alpha, note
the “dl” designation which refers to the synthetic, reversed
(mirror image) molecule that won’t work in the body). The
study was entitled “The Effect of Vitamin E and Beta Carotene
on the Incidence of Lung Cancer and Other Cancers in Male
Smokers.” This study was conducted on people in Finland
where there is a known deficiency of selenium (Vitamin E’s
life partner) and who hold the honor “the world’s greatest
consumers of alcohol” (known to deplete Vitamin E from
the body), and the study commenced shortly after Finland
received a very heavy dose of radiation from the Chernobyl
nuclear reactor catastrophe.
Despite the hundreds of medical studies that prove that
Vitamin E helps prevent lung cancer, the media was fed
a study where only one fraction of synthetic dl-alpha
tocopheryl was used with synthetic beta carotene, and it was
reported that tobacco smokers had a 5% increase of lung
cancer per 100 I.U. administered. There was no increase
in non-smokers. The misinformation presented to the
media’s sound-byte mentality was that “Vitamin E causes
lung cancer,” and the media blindly bought it and spewed
it out of their mouths like radiation from a cracked nuclear
reactor, and have fostered a criminal disservice upon the
people of the United States. Be it known, now and forever,
our cells, hearts, arteries, brains, hormones, lungs, prostates
and breasts, need Nature’s Vitamin E daily – in fact, we can’t
live without it. That’s Nature’s story and she’s sticking to it!
That skewed study’s results parallels a little-known study
that showed that the synthetic, isolated, dl-alphatocopheryl, in
the absence of the complete Vitamin E complex, and more
specifically the gamma tocotrienol fraction, actually depletes
cells of Vitamin E and thus interrupts the glutathione-based
antioxidant processes. It seems that overuse of the synthetic
fraction serves as a magnet to pull tocotrienols out of the
cells (nature abhors a vacuum) in an attempt to reassemble
the complete Vitamin E molecule. Thus, there is a precedent
for problems with synthetic dl-alpha tocopheryl, so don’t use
synthetic Vitamin E! And please rest assured that Systemic
Formulas only uses natural Vitamin E.

Since the smear campaign was so adroitly launched via
national newspapers and television, there has been a decline
in Vitamin E supplementation. It’s past time for the decline
to stop and an increase is warranted now more than ever
before. Look again at the major benefits of tocotrienol
supplementation. There are a hundred more benefits to
taking whole-complex Vitamin E. (Whole complex Vitamin E
is naturally derived because synthetic tocotrienols are too
expensive to isolate and market.)
During his lifetime, Doc Wheelwright was
quite outspoken about the dangers of
synthetic Vitamin E and he was outraged
that it was being used for neonatal infants
in hospitals and sold in health food stores
as “natural Vitamin E.” He taught us to
always use Vitamin E from plant sources—not the chemistry
set by-product from the photographic chemical industry.
Two components of the natural vitamin E complex, gamma-
tocotrienol and delta-tocotrienol are showing great promise in
protecting the cells from ionizing, nuclear radiation.
Meticulous research conducted by the Armed Forces
Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) demonstrated that
subcutaneous gamma-tocotrienol injections to mice a day
before giving them doses of radiation increased survival by
over 75% compared to controls. Even at lethal, high radiation
doses, the gamma-tocotrienol injected mice showed an
unprecedented 40% survival rate. Subsequent research by
the AFRRI revealed that the delta tocotrienol offers similar
protection to radiation.
Vitamin E, like all vitamins, is best
administered in its natural and
complete form with all its
accompanying synergists. Doc’s
mentor, Dr. Royal Lee, was an
early proponent of whole complex,
natural vitamins and published that message citing that Vitamin
C required its accompanying bioflavonoids to be effective. Doc
Wheelwright worked with Dr. Lee and was an early crusader
for natural supplements, and it was through his correspondence
with the Russian bioenergy pioneers, Drs. Semyon and
Valentina Kirlian, that Doc authenticated the dramatic difference
between nature’s vitamins and synthetic vitamins.
Doc researched the bioenergetic
signatures of vitamins and even found
a way to incorporate them into a
specific herbal matrix for increased
effectiveness. He claimed that he
found that certain herbs could re-align
a USP vitamin and make its energy field
equate that of a plant-derived vitamin.
He developed specific formulas for what herbs go with each
B-Vitamin.
When Doc put his original Vitamin E on the market, called
EZV, only the one natural fraction, d-alpha tocopherol was
available. Doc put that into a dry honey-bake base for
chewable, sublingual absorption. Doc’s research showed
that Vitamin E was injured by the stomach acids reducing its
bioavailability, and he wanted immediate assimilation of this
critically important nutrient.
With the advent of recent research on
tocotrienols coupled with availability
viable whole Vitamin E complexes,
and with Doc’s grandson, Dr. Shayne
Morris, being responsible for the
production of Systemic’s formulas, Dr.
Morris immediately updated the EZV formula to include the
whole, natural Vitamin E complex that is available today.
Systemic offers a natural tocopherol complex (alpha, beta,
gamma, delta) replete with its complimentary tocotrienols
(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) in a chewable form that retains
the sublingual absorption properties. And this is just perfect
to address the issue of radioprotective nutrition where we
want to enrich our cells with specific antioxidants that defend
our cells from ionizing radiations. The sublingual absorption

means that the tocotrienols go into the lymphatic system
to be delivered to every cell without deterioration by the
stomach acids.

Potassium and Cesium-137
Another concern exists from the Cesium-137 that gets
absorbed into the body from nuclear radiation. Dr. Shayne
Morris points out that Cesium competes with potassium and
thus can damage areas of the body where potassium is rich
– the muscles, as well as every cell membrane’s respiratory
process known as the sodium potassium pump.
For this reason, Dr. Morris recommends taking additional
potassium to protect the body from Cesium filling the potassium
slots. Most people are deficient in potassium, so taking 4-6
PTM (Potassium Stabilizer) is advisable, particularly during
times where Cesium-137 is an increased environmental factor.
By ensuring that the body’s potassium processes are stoked
with potassium, the Cesium-137 is better addressed by the
chlorella because it won’t be incorporated into the body
matrix, whereas KI won’t help nearly as much.
Putting It All Together
Systemic Formulas has the three
most important supplements to
help protect the body from nuclear
radiation molecules that run errant
in the earth’s atmosphere resulting in lung and skin contact,
and end up in the human food chain and thus can damage
cells everywhere in the body. The lungs, thyroid, bones and,
well, every cell is vulnerable to the DNA-damaging, disease
causing effects of radiation.
While at this writing, there is a national fear reaction occurring
because of the horrendous nuclear reactor explosions in
Japan, so far the radiation poses only a small threat on the
American continent. The real issue is the fact that there is
ongoing exposure to ionizing radiation and such radiations
damage DNA. We are all being exposed to nuclear and
ionizing radiation frequently. Even natural health people!
Radiation is part of our natural environment. Here is a table
of radiation sources that affect people:
Source ExposureMan-made 2%
Food/water 9%
Cosmic Rays 14%
Earth-gamma 14%
Medical 24%
Radon (Earth) 37%
The point emphasized here is that human nutrition is supposed
to handle living on the Earth. However, humankind has
polluted the earth, created deadly new radioactive elements,
and created an empty harvest of nutrient-depleted foods.
Supplementation is one necessary response because even
organically grown foods can carry radioactive particles into
the body. We all need extra protection at the cellular level.

This means that the wise person will use daily supplementation
of protective nutrients. Here is a summary of the key
components.
REL (Chlorella) - This is the leading
radioprotective supplement with a powerhouse of
other daily health benefits. It captures radioactive
particles like a chelating agent for removal from the
body. Its fabulous nutrition provides key protective elements
(chlorophyll, nascent vitamins and proteins) for the tissues.
Systemic offers a high efficiency, cracked cell chlorella.
EZV (200 I.U. Vitamin E) – Tocopherols
& Tocotrienols intact. Specific protection for
the inner cell. Prevents ionizing radiation from
damaging DNA and other cell organelles. A tumor-
inhibitive antioxidant needed throughout the body. Systemic
offers a chewable, sublingual whole complex, plant-source
Vitamin E.
PTM (Potassium Stabilizer) - Plant derived
& greatly needed by all eukaryotic (membrane
enclosed complex structures) cells, fills the
potassium receptors so Cesium-137 cannot
mistakenly be absorbed. Supports the muscles, heart, and
electrolyte functions of every cell.
As a follow up program to further support both the thyroid’s
and liver’s detoxification processes, it just makes sense to do
the following program offered by Dr. Timothy Kuss and Dr.
Cory Carter:
Meta-Oxy Test Helps Monitor Anti-Oxidant Protection
In this program to help protect the body from radioactive particles either damaging or destroying the cells our strategy is to provide the body the radiation scavenging (chelating) advantage of chlorella coupled with the inner cell protection of Vitamin E’s tocotrienol activity. Since ionizing radiation can damage DNA and create free radicals, a handy general marker to determine if there is excessive oxidation of cell membranes as well as the cell’s ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) generating processes.
Referring back to Research Reports #s 1 and 2, if the Meta-Oxy test reveals excessive cell membrane peroxidation, it is an excellent idea to address that with the ROX (Super Antioxidant with Resveratrol) and EPIC (Metabolic NO/ONOO) formulas.
The Meta-Oxy test is simple, quick and inexpensive, and it reveals the necessity to increase supplementation so the body can reduce inflammation and have more needed protection. Meta-Oxy determines the amount of oxidative damage by measuring malandialdehyde in the urine and the color change with the test vial reveals the conclusion.
Here is a comprehensive protocol for such circumstances where there is already a high degree of oxidative stress coupled with the issue of radiation exposure. Further, the cells repair mechanism utilized methylation to effect returning to optimal health, so the methylation product, MoRS, is applicable for optimal nutritional support.
Nature provides the answers and natural substances such as chlorella (REL) and potassium from grapes (PTM) hold the best preventatives and best therapies for our modern day concerns.
